Estimating vehicle speed with embedded inertial sensors

How comfortable are your cycling tracks? A new method for objective bicycle vibration measurement

“…Inertial sensors (accelerometers) are deemed ideal candidates to serve as pavement sensors for wide-area instrumentation (Levenberg, 2014). Joo and Oh (2013) used GPS and an accelerometer mounted onto a bicycle to derive Bicycle Monitoring Index (BMI).…”

Development of mechanomutable asphalt binders for the construction of smart pavements

“…Consequently, recent research in pavement engineering has focused on the development of new asphalt materials that are able to self-heal [5,6], and are less contaminant and more efficient [7][8][9]. In this respect, new systems are being developed which can transform energy from the pavements into electricity [10][11][12], offer information about the state of the road [13] or guide the vehicle [14,15].…”

Monitoring Traffic Information with a Developed Acceleration Sensing Node

“…Deflections calculated from acceleration showed a reasonable qualitative correlation to those measured by magnetostrictive deflectometers [ 21 ]. Levenberg estimated vehicle speed and pavement layer properties with embedded single-axis high-end piezoelectric accelerometers [ 22 , 23 ]. Unfortunately, the commercial piezoelectric acceleration sensor is often required to be equipped with an adapter and a data acquisition device [ 22 ].…”

“…Levenberg estimated vehicle speed and pavement layer properties with embedded single-axis high-end piezoelectric accelerometers [ 22 , 23 ]. Unfortunately, the commercial piezoelectric acceleration sensor is often required to be equipped with an adapter and a data acquisition device [ 22 ]. In practice, there are a lot of disadvantages, such as high energy consumption, large size, high cost, and non-real-time data processing capability.…”
